CHOPPED GREEN SALAD WITH RED ONION & CUCUMBER

This is the traditional salad my mother-in-law, Marie Casazza, Big Mamma, Mamaw, Aunt Theresa, Uncle Buddy, Aunt Geraldine, and Aunt Angie served with any type of pasta with a red sauce. It is so refreshing and delicious. They served mostly Iceberg lettuce but Romaine has more calcium, 3 times the amount of Vitamin K and folate, and over 10 times the amount of vitamin A. They both equal in taste, calories, fiber, and crunch. . .so why not switch up?

About Me

I self-published my first cookbook and I am very proud to say it was printed in the United States! Every recipe has a photo and they were not photo shopped and a stylist was not used. The food was real and I took the photos before the food was served.

When I tasted the "Sunday Gravy" prepared by my husband's mother, grandmother, and even his great grandmother, "Big Mamma"—I was hooked. Teresa Lapetina and Vincenzio Greco sailed to America from Naples in 1898.They were from the small town of Picerno in the province of Potenza in the southern region of Basilicata. They have all departed us now. . .ora sono la mamma!
